THE DETROIT INSTITUTEOF ARTS AND DIA AWAY

THINK LIKE AN ARTIST!

DIA Away: Think Like an Artist, is a free, mobile interactive classroom for students and a creative exploration space for people of all ages, presented by the Detroit Institute of Arts.

DIA Away is a fully furnished, vibrantly designed 53' double-expandable trailer.

Visitors will be surprised and inspired to discover the connections between themselves and the ways artists think and work.
